The right cooking utensils

Energy consumption

To save energy, you should . . .

-- use only cooking and frying utensils with smooth, flat bottoms.

-- place pots and pans in position before switching on the cooking zone.

--Wherever possible, cover pots and pans with a lid.

-- switch off the cooking zone a few minutes before the end of the cooking time, in order to make use of the residual heat.

--use the residual heat of the cooking zones for kee-

ping food warm or for melting.

--Position pots and pans centrally on the cooking zo- nes.

Saucepans and frying pans

Saucepans and frying pans should not be smaller than the cooking zone, and preferably not more than 10--15 mm larger than the diameter of the cooking zone.

Always use cooking and frying utensils with smooth, flat bottoms.

The bottoms should always be clean and dry. Cook with a lid in place.

Check that the bottoms of utensils are smooth and un- damaged; bottoms with burrs and sharp edges will scratch the ceramic glass surface.

Scratches can also be caused by grains of sand (e.g. originating from the previous washing of vegetables), drawn over the cooking surface with the pan, or by burrs and the rims of pan bottoms.

To avoid scratching or damaging the ceramic cooking surface, pots and pans should be moved on the plate by lifting them, and not by sliding.

Utensils with aluminium and copper bottoms can leave behind metallic discolorations which can only be remo- ved with difficulty or sometimes not at all.

When cold, pan bases normally curve slightly inwards by approx. 0.1 -- 0.5 mm (are concave). In no case should they curve outwards (be convex).

Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan ma- nufacturer. Ensure they are recommended for use on ceramic hobs.

Check that the appliance is switched off after use.
